The !Run in !OSLib does that. Now why did you choose to hold SHIFT while
opening the directory? I've tried to make it as foolproof as possible, but I
guess I can't take deliberate breaking the system into account...

I feel it is better to keep the README to a minimum. If there's too much in
it, at best people get confused; at worst they don't read it.

Maybe, but it has nothing to do with building OSLib, and everything to do
with checking it out. My previous argument applies; I think it's probably
best dealt with where it is.
